Description

DESCRIPTION:
Bear Cliff Lodge is a luxurious mountain retreat offering breathtaking panoramic views and unmatched privacy in the scenic Deep Creek Lake area - just 7 minutes from the lake and the four-season Wisp Resort. Tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting along Route 42, this beautifully appointed home blends rustic charm with modern comforts, including central air, heated floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and a soothing outdoor hot tub. Step onto the expansive deck to take in sweeping views of the surrounding mountains, where early risers are treated to stunning sunrises cresting over the ridgeline. In the evening, gather around the fire pit under vast, star-filled skies—an unforgettable stargazing experience far from city lights. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee as the day begins or relaxing indoors with a game of pool, Bear Cliff Lodge invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Though it feels worlds away, it's just a short drive from local shops, dining, hiking trails, and Deep Creek Lake’s public access points—offering the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. With its blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and peaceful atmosphere, Bear Cliff Lodge is the perfect setting for a memorable mountain escape.
